Steering Groups


The London Grid for Learning Consortium develops policy and strategy through the work of four Sector Groups in which all LEAs are represented and through an Executive Board of which the Chairpersons of the Sector Groups are members. These policies are developed and implemented by a number of steering groups. These steering groups are made up of representatives from the LEAs and the memberships can be found on the other tabs.

The Board of Directors/Trustees is the executive group which bears overall responsibility for the direction and actions of the LGfL Trust. The Chair of each sector presents the views of their respective sector colleagues.
